Puerto Madryn welcomes all cruise vessels; Ushuaia tourism industry blasts the governor
The Patagonian province of Chubut said that contrary to what happened earlier this week in Tierra del Fuego, there is no ban on any cruise vessel flag and all are welcome to dock and make use of the provincial ports’ services, particularly Puerto Madryn which belongs to the South Atlantic sea tourism circuit.

The guy is making perfect sense. Banning ships could leave the region stripped of cruise business. The cruise companies don't mess around. The interpretation used in Ushuaia of the Gaucho Rivero bill was grossly twisted and everyone knows it. Stopping cruise ships was not its intent.

I'm with Think on this one. All these initiatives are designed to influence the risk calculation of an oil major joining in the exploration process around the islands. Regarding this I was struck by the almost total lack of press coverage on CFKs order to the FM to warn off stock markets to this effect.
Mar 03rd, 2012 - 01:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@20 I'm not so sure about that. I personally thought they might be manipulate share prices in order to buy into the oil companies once the oil starts flowing.
Mar 03rd, 2012 - 01:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The one economic control they have over the islands is risk, I think we're all agreed on that one. But I think she'll try to do a YPF-Repsol here, and it's a part of a long term play involving the Acquisition of aforementioned company.
@21 GreekYoghurt
Mar 03rd, 2012 - 03:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A long term play with the CFK gov means to the end of that day.
YPF will have to be nationalised in the end, because they are trying to run a business and she is running a popularity contest, and the two are not compatible.
As for the Falklands oil, the oil industry is quite used to operating in conflict zones, this spat in the south Atlantic will not bother them one iota. Only the size and accessibility of the deposits will have any real impact on their thinking.
The way it work with the cruse industry is they tell a port what they want and expect, and the port agrees and makes it happen, or they go somewhere else, it is not a negotiation in any sense of the word. Puerto Madryn seem to realise this, Ushuaia clearly does not.
It will be interesting to see what happens when larger and larger numbers of ships and rigs start arriving in the S Atlantic for the Falklands oil fields, if places like Puerto Madryn even keep to the ban on oil vessels.
I somehow doubt Montevideo or Punta Arenas will ban all that business, probably get rich on it instead.
Brilliant, more comical activities in the ministry of clowns.
Mar 03rd, 2012 - 04:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Such staggering incompetence is just hilarious to watch!

@21 and 22. The fact that all these things are happening now combined with a growing expectation, fed by the reports of corporate jets flying in from the north, that something is about to happen on the farm-out front is IMO not a coincidence. The flights offer is a classic. It says to the oil industry “look how much easier and economic it would be to service the oil industry if crews and contractors could fly in an out from BA” . If the C24 and the GA can't convince the UK to negotiate perhaps the US and their home oil industry can? I don't say its right, I don't say it will work, I'm just saying it may be a part of what's happening.

@24,25 I agree that these things aren't a coincidence. Although I agree these oil companies are used to working in some pretty pokey war zones, the only factor the Argentinians can use is to manipulate the political risk on the islands. Offering up three flights a week, is attractive to the oil industry, and the cruise industry to be fair, because it provides a huge number of bums-on-seats for their failing airline. Makes it a lot more comfortable for them to operate out of the FIslands.
Mar 03rd, 2012 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think there are other things going on here though... if it becomes economic to have significant numbers of people flying out of USA, then surely a US carrier would be on the case.
I guess something else is afoot, fuelled by the bitterness that FIslands might have oil.

Hard nosed oilmen are not going to be moved by any such gestures by CFK, they probably know people who work for YPF. They also know the agreement of the Islanders is required for there purposes, and CFK’s is not
I have no doubt you are right that CFK is trying to affect things in some way, I just doubt that she now has any influence whatsoever over the events in motion, in the S Atlantic anyway.

If anything oil companies fly their people in to a large International airport and use private planes (who are far more pliable to the oil industry needs) to fly them into the local strip.
I can easily see Uruguay MVD becoming a player here.
Looking at the picture of Tierra del Fuego's governor Fabiana Rios, are all Argentinian women as poorly looking as Mrs. Rios? She looks like she still has a hangover from the night before. Perhaps, Mrs Rios will reimburse the tourism board with her own money to make up the $1,000,000.00 dollars they lost by banning the two ships..

Mar 03rd, 2012 - 06:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And I think your frequent use of EPIC TLAs and oil industry speak indicates that yours are too.
Whether we do or we don't hardly matters. In my case I lived on the islands for periods in the 1980s and 1990s, have visited Chile and Argentina and worked in a political analysis role in the UN during the 2000s. This experience has had a more profound effect on my interests and thinking than the venal prospect of boosting the value of my SIPP (important though that is to Mrs dod and the little dods).
And just to be clear. I'm a 100% supporter of the rights of the present FI population to determine their relationship with the rest of the world, a 100% supporter of Argentina's right to use diplomacy to advance its own interests under international law but, more fundamentally, I'm a 100% supporter of the value of discussion to understanding the other persons point of view as a starting point to help resolve conflict.

The antiboycott laws were adopted to encourage, and in specified cases, require U.S. firms to refuse to participate in foreign boycotts that the United States does not sanction. They have the effect of preventing U.S. firms from being used to implement foreign policies of other nations which run counter to U.S. policy.

Mar 04th, 2012 - 08:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I had this discussion about the nick “Kelper” last year, with a turnip called Justin(hishead)Kuntz, aka Wee Curry Monster….
He had written a Wikipedia Article on “Kelpers” in which he postulated:
“This term is not used much by themselves, largely because it is used in a derogatory manner by Argentines; most prefer “Falkland Islanders” or even “Bennies”, a nickname given to them by British soldiers during and after the 1982 war.”
During our debate, many real “Kelpers” expressed their appreciation for the nick “Kelper”
(Actually, quite a few disliked being called “Bennies” by the “Whenies” :-)
He later changed his Wikipedia Article on “Kelpers” that today reads:
“This term is no longer used as commonly as it once was (largely because it is considered insulting by some islanders when used by Argentines). Instead most prefer “Falkland Islanders” or even “Bennies”. “
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelpers
Truth is that I haven’t encounter (in real or cyber life) one single ”Kelper” that gets offended when called a ”Kelper”….
Maybe some “Kelpers” in here would like to contribute with their opinion?

Ah, this thread is apodictic proof of the “gentlemen” essence of the British male, does it not? Needless to say, I have seen the Brits in action, both in London and on videos... they are just as respectful as any other western male; then there's the chavs.
Mar 05th, 2012 - 02:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0I could argue that the Mexicans and Russians have displayed more respect for women when typing online if I juxtaposed the comments here to those where such nationalities are present. And those are real “macho” cultures (Argentina is as much a macho culture in comparison to the rest of Latin America, as water is corrosive in comparison to battery acid)
And lsolde takes the cake, I must confess (GreekYoghurt, Conqueror, et al are no surprise with their basement musings), with her instance of charientism—thanks for that actually, it allowed me to use that word:
All Argentine women are NOT slags etc etc.
And we don't need to know what you would do to them.
Argentine women, in fact get some sympathy from me because they have to put up with would be warriors & macho-men.
a) All argie women are not slags (but obviously most are). That is what we can conclude from this utterance, which lsolde so artfully foisted by surreptitiously lending credence to Conqueror's general idea in what appears otherwise to be a sincere rebuttal.
b) And her sympathy stems from the fact Argie males are somehow outrageous characters in comparison to other nationalities... (which of course is a thoroughly baseless observation and completely confutable like few things in this website are).
Is it not interesting that everyone here is a polymath about Argentina? To the solitary foreigner, all experts on its history, on its culture, on its Indians, on the women, on the men, on the economy, on the politics... The only expertise most here lack is honesty (to be clear, honesty in the narrow sense about their knowledge of my country).
Finally, not everyone has proficient command of English. I find it tepidly haughty when some expect everyone to.
is this the Malvinas and Uk democracy?

lsolde,
Mar 06th, 2012 - 01:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0I don't want anything to do with you (more precisely, I don't need anything from you)... Which means I don't ever have to seek or require any contact with the Falkland Islands for me to be engaged fully in my country and with the rest of the world.
The problem is, if someday my country's government does indeed mature and recognizes your freedom of sovereignty or at the very least places an indefinite parenthesis on the matter (for all your accusations and opprobrium towards me by you and all others here based merely on my nationality, which is racism by the way, I actually am on “your” side on the Falklands status), we will still not need you for anything. The question shall be, will you be able to pretend you can exist and be fully integrated to the outside world without acknowledging you need relations with your immediate neighbor.
I read exactly what had to be read; I'm no an idiot that is all. That would be my opinion on one narrow opinion you indited, yet from this you not only seem to extrapolate how all my other views about life must be, but all other argentines? Because you see, you took my one critique of your post and made it out as the definitive guide to all things argentine psyche. Talk about tendencious, prejudicial nonsense (or trolling). :)
You are in the end no better than the gaudy trollers, for calling us whackjobs for no reason except to insult and deride, and for burning your bridges with sensible people on the other side. You are just a more covert one.
Greekyoghurt, my juxtaposition eluded you. Of course polymath stands for the definition you provided. As such, and since most of you only talk about Argentina 24/7, in that little world polymath stands for the fact you all swear to be unbiased experts in all the subjects and fields, disparate or not, of the country (economics, culture, politics, history, women, machos, environment). Trust me I've been in arguments in all those.
The reality is that you are all full of it.
l think that you are fuller.
